Silver: Yeah, Schimminger paid the price

The Buffalo News’ Tom Precious had a great story last week about Assemblyman Robin Schimminger mysteriously being bounced from the economic development conference committee after he voted against the chamber’s one-house budget resolution.

“We had a [budget] resolution. He wasn’t supportive of it,” Silver said of Schimminger. “The way the conference committees usually work is the people who are supportive are the ones who defend the house position. They are representing the house.”
